On Wednesday morning at about 7:00 A.M., the Litchfield Police Department assisted the Central MN Violent Offender Task Force, State of MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) with the execution of three search warrants in the City of Litchfield.

Litchfield Police Chief Patrick Fank says the search warrants were executed at the 426 North Ramsey Ave, 739 East First Street, and 25 West Weisel. Fank says the warrants were part of an ongoing investigation for the trafficking of illegal drugs.

The operation seized an undetermined amount of methamphetamine and marijuana, along with drug paraphernalia. Several adults were arrested at the scene and are currently in custody pending formal charges.

The investigation continues as Chief Fank says more arrests are expected.
